They enter a dark field with tangled weeds and tall grass, providing ample cover when hiding. The fog has created a cold coating of dew on the plants, making it somewhat chilly. The dim, blue moon is the only source of light as the door closes behind them and glitches out of existence. The soil is dry, cold.

Harmonia looks around. Shes wearing a tank top and shorts with her weapons, as if she was just training or leaving to train. "Well shit."

“We’re in hell aren’t we?” Knight says as he looks at where the door once was.

"Could be worse," Spider sighs.

“If we are in hell, which one?” Knight asks.

"Based on the door I'm guessing Sisyphean," Spider replies.

"At least the moon here is really pretty... though oddly blue." Luna says, while trying to find a way forward. "And I'm going to guess Sisyphean as well. Metamorphosis doesn't generally have random doors in the street."

“Looks like I don’t have funky time powers then,” Knight frowns.

"Us being in hell makes the fact I'm still me right now make a lot more sense," Spider chuckles. There's a crash from up ahead.

“Oh shit!” Knight runs towards it.

"What the heck was that??" Luna asks, startled. Her fur is standing upright a little bit. She gives chase. Spider's ears flick as she heads towards the source of the noise.

"Why are you running towards it." Harmonia facepalms.

"Because there's nothing else to do," Spider's just walking towards it. It's a car. It has a person inside- er. had. it had a person inside. It looks like they crashed? Into Hell? They're dead from the impact. The car landed on its front.

"What the hell?" Luna asks.

“Yikes.”

Harmonia approaches cautiously, tempted to fucking eat the soul. The thought makes her drool.

"GIBBYYYY!!!" Cole fucking falls from the sky and lands face first on the car.

“Oh hey Cole,” Knight waves.

"I give that a 4 out of 10." Luna smiles. Spider rolls her eyes. Harmonia is laser focused on the head body and attempts to plunge her hand into its chest. She takes out the soul and just eats it without missing a beat.

"You always have to make an entrance don't you?" Spider asks.

Cole rolls off the car and ignores the soul eating, "Fuck you I'm the gay joker"

"You're definitely living in a society." Luna facepalms. In the fog, some a red light can be seen, pulsating. And then another. And then another. Like radio towers. Many of them. Slowly fading on, then off.

"Onwards we go I guess," Spider says. Harmonia finishes the soul and looks around. Shes probably a bit covered in blood now but its fine.

"I guess? Hope that soul was tasty." Luna chuckles.

"Ive had better," Harmonia sighs.

"Huh, well onward to certain death I suppose," Cole shrugs and starts walking towards the lights.

"Like that even matters anymore," Spider sighs, following along. Luna walks towards the lights, enjoying the glow of the moon in the meantime. Knight and Harmonia follow them. Noises can be heard from the towers. Deep, growling chatter, distorted elevator music, women screaming in agony, high pitched droning hums, strings of numbers, static, reversed talking, and ambient howls of creatures. The grass is getting thicker. Luna just focuses on moving forward and not on the distorted noise. Spider grumbles, her ears flattening against her skull. Harmonia shivers and looks around cautiously. Something slithers past their feet.

Knight near jumps out of his skin. “EH?!”

Upon feeling the slithering, Luna jumps in fright. "What the fuck was that???" Cole keeps his head on a swivel and ignores the noises like he ignores the voices in his head......not at all. As they approach the towers, they can feel the movement of something near them. Something. vague. They can't tell what it is, it just feels really, really off.

"So, I really don't like this," Spider growls.

Harmonia takes a step back, ears flattened and tail tucked between her legs. "God why did I walk through that door..."

"I hate all of this! I'm having difficulty focusing with the noises and now something just feels... wrong. Why did we come in here?" Luna asks.

"Boredom," Spider growls. Cole rests one hand on his combat knife and another on his pink glock. The fog clears slightly. Ahead of them, they see some wrought iron fencing. The fog on the other side is thick. There's a scream as someone, another human survivor of the apocalypse, is thrown down and impaled on the top of the fence. The wind blows harder, making it colder. The movement continues. Something is dreadfully wrong.

Harmonia gasps at the suddeness of it, shaking. "W-we need to get out of here-"

"Just a casual death of some random human. What else is new?" Luna says as if seeming brave, but deep inside, she's completely freaked out.

“Oh god!” Knight is shooketh.

Cole golf claps, "Oh well!"

The fur on Spider's tail is bristling as they take a deep breath, "So how do you suggest we do that, Harm?"

"I don't know-" Harmonia trembles.

"Perhaps the only way out is forward?" Luna asks.

"Looks like it"

"Well, we could start running," Cole shrugs.

"Why run? That's just prey behaviour," Spider says, "We'd be painting an even bigger target on our backs"

"We're currently prey at the moment. There's some creature chasing us whose movements are completely wrong. What else do we do?" Luna asks.

"Spider, you are talking to the human fucking shield, I can block a attack if needed," Cole smirks.

"And I can cast magic to ward off anything coming for us." Luna smiles.

"Yeah and I have a bunch of tricks up my sleeve, but here? They as may as well be useless," Spider says, "You remember when I was shot right?"

"Of course."

"It should of healed in minutes but it didn't, so don't underestimate whatever it is we're up against now," Spider mutters. Something hits Cole on the head. Like, something small. Cole rubs where he was hit and looks down to see what hit him. It's a human tooth!

"Edible." Cole looks back to Spider, "Anyways lets keep moving?"

"What was that?" Luna asks.

"A tooth," Another one falls. Then another. And another. It's raining teeth.

"Oh my god," Harmonia says.

"...this is a dentist's worst nightmare." Luna says, not knowing that this situation is a nonbinary person's dream.

"Well this is just brilliant," Spider mutters.

"Wow, teeth I'm so scared," Cole is not scared.

"So... why is it raining human teeth?" Luna asks.

"Teeth. Youre fucking. kidding." Harmonia groans.

"Anyways shall we?" Spider starts walking forwards.

"Reminds me of Jovian Hall, except instead of needles, it's teeth." Luna follows.

Cole follows, "Terrible." Knight follows, scared out of his god damn mind. There's a gate in the fence. Cole checks if there's a lock, there isn't.

"Do you think teeth taste good," Harmonia asks.

"Debatable," Cole says.

"Harmonia... what the fuck." Luna looks to them confused.

The gate is opened by Cole Genenesone! The group enters a thicket blanketed in a chilly fog. Much of the soil and plants are tinted shades of crimson and red. There's many trees, all with red leaves. The sky slowly fills with fog as they walk, and they begin to see trees in the sky, upside down, as if the geography is folding in on itself. It's slightly brighter here. The tooth rain has stops as they enter, appearing to cut off once the field turns into the forest.

“This is oddly beautiful,” Knight says.

"That's...interesting," Spider says, looking around.

"This place is awesome!" Luna says.

"Could be worse," Cole mutters as he looks around. They just continue walking forward, all senses on high alert. Luna's focus is on the entire area, trying to sense any danger as she walks forwards with the party. There's a couple clusters of large, pulsating eggs attached to some of the trees.

"I hate this so fucking much," Harmonia groans.

“I want to burn this forest down now," Knight says.

"Well that's.... probably bad. Can't imagine what's in those eggs." Luna wonders.

"I really want to break one," Spider chuckles.

"Do it, I dare you," Cole smiles. Spider heads over to one of the eggs on the ground and attempts to kick it open. It cracks, and something... frankly fucking disgusting falls out. It's a fetal thing. It's. Hard to tell what it is. It's covered in fur, but it's not like something out of Metamorphosis. It's clearly not meant to be nonferal. It's very obviously quadrupedal, and it's got long, fluffy limbs. Its fur is mostly white, with the occasional black accent. It appears to have a set of wings as well, almost bat-like. It has fluffy ears and a snout like that of a wolf, but it's head is built more like an elk. It has very premature horns, just stubs. But they seem to be made of a dark, crimson wood. It has claws, too. Sharp, long claws. It's wet with egg juices. Probably dead.

"Good god," Cole says. Harmonia just stares at it.

"Um.. what, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, the fuck is that thing??" Luna asks, "Ugh, if that's what the children look like, I'd hate to see what the mother looks like." Luna turns around making sure the mother hellhound ain't behind her. It is not. She wipes her brow, worried she got into a weird synchronicity with some creature.

"I say we kill it," Knight says.

"It's already dead presumably," Cole replies.

"I guess hellhounds exist now," Spider says.

"I wonder if it has a soul," Harmonia mumbles.

"Have we considered that maybe we should stop doing the first thing that comes to mind?" Cole asks.

"Clearly not. At least you didn't eat these eggs." Luna adds.

"That is very rich coming from you," Spider glance over at Cole.

Cole stares at Spider, "I didn't kick the egg open at least"

"At least I didn't kill two people over a cult"

"Anyway" Luna says, trying to break the two of them apart, "Shall we move forward?"

Cole's eyes flicker pink for a second, "You know what I don't need to hear this from you," Cole then starts walking forward again. The group moves forward through the crimson forest, it's honestly pretty here. They eventually begin to see some vague structures! They look like old, small forts from wars. There's also the occasional shed. "Ah fucking wonderful, forts," Cole groans.

"Oh hey, structures. I wonder if there's a rake chillan at one of them." Luna says.

"I'm gonna eat the rake at the structures," Cole says.

"Good luck with that," Spider chuckles.

Cole rolls his eyes, "gee thanks"

At some point, the trees become a bit more scarce, the trail turning into a stone path. Sharp, jagged rocks line the path. The fog becomes thicker. The breeze is cold. Harmonia coughs and looks around. Pretty much the only things visible through the fog is the group, the area of the path they're on, and the rocks surrounding it.

"Man the fogbringers are on top of things tonight. They must be getting paid extra to make this place hard to see through." Luna chuckles as she moves foward. As they walk, the fog fades only slightly. They can now see they're on some sort of bridge, lit by bright red lanterns. The bridge appears to be high up, as, if one were to look over the edge, they would see nothing but the fog. There's a scream from the left side of the bridge. If one were able to see through the fog, they'd see another group of survivors, and one has fallen off the bridge. Not sure how, as there's a pretty decently made railing. Up ahead, they can see a vague shape of something Huge.

Spider's ears flatten against her skull at the scream, "Well I don't know about you lot but I'm going to ignore the screaming for now," she sighs and continues. forwards. Luna continues to go forward, ignoring the scream.

"I'm so fucking bored I wanna kill something or eat something," Cole continues forward.

Harmonia shivers more. "I want to go anywhere but there actually."

"Let's just get it over with," Spider mumbles.

"What else do you expect us to do Harmonia? And besides, whatever we kill next, you can have the soul. I'm sure you're hungry!" Luna chuckles

"Did you expect me to be hungry?" Cole asks.

"No? I was just... cuz Harmonia's a gluttony de-- you know what, this whole bit failed." Luna just keeps moving forward.

"Im fucking boggled" Cole keeps going. Harmonia doesnt seem to be in a joking mood. She looks. petrified but continues forward with the group. Cole groans and walks slightly faster.

"Harm, you have something you wanna tell us?" Spider asks.

"N-no... it just... I hate this..."

"Right"

"Same. But the faster we move forward, the faster we get home." Luna reassures.

As they approach, it appears to be a fucking gigantic palace, made of dark, glistening, chiseled stone. There's highlights of bright red rubies, lights emanating from red stained glass. While the sky around everything else was dark, this... a soft red, dimmed down by the fog. Crows fly around the castle, cawing. The moon is still visible, though it's now a dim white.

Shards of rubies and dark, dull stones surround the palace. Something bellows from inside. The door is wide open.

"...wow. Whoever owns this place must love RPGs. It's like the most stereotypical evil final boss castle." Luna giggles.

"Yeah...I don't like the sound of that bellow," Spider says.

"Me neither, but I doubt we're able to teleport home."

Harmonia is shaking like a leaf and shakes her head. "N-no-"

Cole is staring at the open doors.

Luna looks to Harmonia. "What's going on? Do you know what this place is?"

"I... I think its... Abaddons..."

"You're having a laugh," Spider says.

"...oh.. oh right, I was here too." Luna recalls, "made to peep the horror but it wasn't a funny meme."

"Oh boy! I get to call them a slur again!" Cole starts walking towards the open doors. Luna sighs and focuses, her paw hovering the hilt of her sword, then she walks forward with Cole.

The inside of the palace is huge, many floors being seen from just the foyer. Halls upon halls, decorated with rubies. In front of them, though, is a staircase that leads down. Right to the source of the noise. Whatever's down there lets out a loud, animalistic growl, as a loud splash is heard. The noise calms as a hum is heard.

"Rubies, the gem that most looks like blood," Cole mutters to himself.

"...So I guess we're heading towards the creature?" Luna asks.

"Like we have any other choice," Spider sighs.

"Right." Luna carefully begins going down the staircase towards the creature.

"To murder!" Cole walks down the staircase not at all like a fucking flamboyant bitch. The staircase is long. Like, very long. There's writings on the walls, though! Stuff about a soulless witch, blood rain, worlds being plunged into darkness, martyrs, a holy light... it's. weird.

They descend into what looks to be a large indoor pool......? If that's even the right way to describe it. There's a massive, MASSIVE pool in the center of the room. It's circular, and around the size of a lake you'd see at a summer camp. The red water is barely see-through, the bottom completely invisible. However. Something is in it. Something massive.

There's seats all around the pool, filled to the brim with demons of Violence. Abaddon sits in a throne at the other side, staring at the group with a wide grin.

"Finally, a group that actually made it here instead of getting themselves killed," Abaddon yells loudly, as the crowd murmurs. A few dead demons can be seen strewn about the shoreline, mostly Heresy but a few Limbo and Lust.

"Yeah fuck this," Spider turn to leave.

Cole is staring at the red water, "If that is blood I'm going to fucking dive into it and drain it"

"Sup Abaddon." Luna waves with a smile. Harmonia is trembling and pale at the sight of Abaddon and takes a step back. A gate closes, locking them inside for the time being! The roof is open, the red sky and white moon beaming down on them. The water moves slightly. Something's definitely down there.

"What? Did y'all expect Abaddon to just let us leave? It's clear they want entertainment." Luna says.

"Abaddon, if I drink the pool water can we leave?" Cole asks.

"Sure." Abaddon replies with a smirk. Harmonia is just. staring at Abaddon, absolutely fucking terrified.

"Fucking bet," Cole kicks his shoes off and fucking leaps into the red water. Luna just watches, out of blatant curiosity. Cole feels something off about the water, as he begins to see something large moving. It looks too vague to make out, but it has a lot of... limbs? Again, impossible to make out due to how murky the water is. Cole starts fucking slurping the pool water as his bone white wings unfurl from his jacket. He's not making very much progress. Especially when he gets lifted out of the water. He's on top of something scaly, draconic. And it is fucking massive. The head alone is maybe the size of Harmonia's house. Maybe bigger. Everyone else sees the head and neck of the beast. It has dark scales of obsidian with spots of garnet. It has many horns, all made of garnet. It has four eyes, each one a blinding white. It has fins as well, bright red.

And then another, identical head rises from the water.

And then another.

And then another.

Abaddon's grin widens. "L̸̫͝ë̷͗t̷̽̿ ̴̎͝t̴́͝h̶̉̽ẽ̸͠ ̵̑̃s̴̊̚h̴̆̾o̷͛͌w̷̉̄ ̶̾̚b̷́̓e̸͂̓g̴̅͐ḯ̷̔n̵̛̍.̵͑͊"

"Well that's a dragon." Luna says, completely dumbfounded.

"Well ain't that just brilliant," Spider says.

"I'm on a dragon!" Cole giggles. Harmonias mind races. Dragon. no... hydra? Would the heads grow back? Her thoughts are muddled as pure fear takes over. She looks at the open ceiling and wishes she could fly with her wings. Luna clicks the app on her phone to transform her into her MG form.

“So we’re fucked?” Knight asks.

"Probably. But let's at least give them a show?" Luna replies.

"Excuse me," Cole taps the dragon on the head, "Can I have a word with you?" It doesn't notice. Harmonia takes out her gun and attempts to shoot one of the heads eyes. Cole punches the dragon on the head, "EXCUSE ME I WANT TO HAVE A WORD"

Knight grabs a rifle from out of his bag and starts shooting at the beast. Luna shoots one of the head's eyes with a targetted lightning blast from her sword. The head shakes Cole off of its head. He plummets into the water. The head that gets the lightning turns to Luna. It readies itself for attack, and lunges towards the group. The other three heads watch the group intently. Luna jumps backwards, attempting to dodge the head! Knight tries to dodge of the way.

The bullets, upon making contact, shatter some of the obsidian. Doesn't do much either than that. Harmonia's shots didn't do much, the lightning didnt affect it because its. stone. and everyone was able to dodge.

Luna focuses and calls out to Cole telepathically. {"Hey Cole, I have an idea, but I need you out of the water."}

Cole is vibin in the water, ("yeah what's up?")

Luna, {"Well if our attacks aren't working, why don't we target the water with our lightning powers? Shock them to their core!"}

Cole, ("good idea feel free to hit the water all it will do is charge me")

Arcs form across Cole's body as a wide smile spreads across his face.

Luna, {"Awwright."}

Luna takes a deep breath and enters hyperfocus, a deep purple aura surrounding her, magnifying her magic. Then she points her sword at the water surrounding the beast and lets loose a strong lightning attack at the water! "THUNDERSTORM!!!"

The monster seems to be affected by this, being temporarily stunned! The roof is open. Now's a perfect opportunity to escape.

"Fuck yeah!" Luna claps her hands seeing how her attack was SUPER EFFECTIVE!

"Good job," Spider says.

("good effect on target"), Cole climbs out of the water and shakes the water off of his wings.

"Everyone, let's get the hell out of here!" Luna says.

"HOW??" Harmonia looks at her, confused

"Good job!" Abaddon claps, smiling. "You're the first ones in maybe... a thousand years to do that?"

"Well I doubt many people have lightning magic!" Luna smirks.

Cole walks back over to the others, "So I think we have to fly out."

“Are you serious?” Knight groans.

"Seems like it. Anyone have flying powers? I'm still learning those." Luna asks.

"I'm literally standing here with wings," Cole says. Harmonia runs and grabs onto him, still shaking.

"Oh yeah, let's go!" Luna walks over to Cole, exiting Hyperfocus before her mana is drained, which removes the aura. She grabs on.

"That's one person who gets the memo," Cole says. Knight tries to grab onto Cole. Cole bends down for the short people. Luna's short people! "Thanks dude."

Spider sighs and heads over to Cole, grabbing onto him.
